- Webber/Echoes: When Waters mentioned it in an interview with Q Magazine shortly after Amused to Death came out, Webber said it was written originally for "Gumshow," a movie he scored that came out in December 1971. Q Magazine ran it as a correction that was hideously deferential to "Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber," which makes a little more sense in light of the onerous English libel laws.
- Hmm, so Dave and Co. opened the show with the full Echoes? Now that\'s a bold move...it\'s also better than anything on AMLOR.
Also...
\"We cower in the theater
With our hands over our ears
Lloyd Webber\'s awful stuff
Runs for years and years and years
An earthquake hits the theater
But the operetta lingers
Then the piano lid comes down
And breaks his fucking fingers.\" - Great show Doc! You did great work on this and the KAOS show.
I wish they performed Echoes on the Pluse (or Divison Bell) tour. I thinked it could have been performed better. Guy Pratt remarked about Echoes being played in 87 in an interview last year (I think) on Outsudethewall.net.
\"We tried Echoes on the 87 tour, but some of the younger players(mentioning no names) couldn\'t get their
heads around the free form nature of it, so we had to give it up.\"
But overall it was a great performance for not being played since the 75 tour. Great show.
Cheers - your right Doc, I yelled out be quiet a few times, hehehe :)
when the crowd was quiet I kept waiting for more whoooooooo whoooooooooooooooooooooo whooos.... cause I missed them...;)
anyhoo, they where excited and from the great white north, eh !
This show reminds me of the dvd I picked up last year called, PINK FLOYD: Still First in Space, The Crew\'s Story by Bob Hickey, the house sound mixer for this MLOR tour.
Check it out for some behind the scenes if you have not already done so.
THANKS Doc ! YOU ROCK !
